Welcome to Year One! Our topic for this half term is 'Animals'. We are looking forward to researching facts using non-fiction books and the internet and finding out more during our trip to Chester Zoo. We will be writing all about our trip and creating fact files about our favourite animals. The 'Rhymetime Challenge' will see us learning to recite rhymes and performing them for our parents.  Our focus in design technology will be wheels and axles and will result in us designing and making our own vehicles.  

The children are working extrememly hard in phonics as the phonics screening gets nearer.  They are enjoying lots of games to help them to read real and nonsense words. Use the link below to access some of these games:

Reading

The children need to bring their book bag to school everyday and read at home as frequently as possible.  All of the children have a high frequency word book to practise recognising common words. Your child's Bug Club login is at the front of their reading record and will give them access to a range of additional books at their reading level. Click on the bug below to take you to the login page.

Mathematics

Here are links to some great websites, where the children can practise the skills that they have learnt in school.
